The Wedding Of Karate Kid and Queen Projectra

After a whirlwind romance, and a long period of courtship, Karate Kid and Queen Projectra finally got married.


But, where did this love affair start?


A quick look below....



Adventure Comics #346 (July, 1966)

With "One Of Us Is A Traitor" by Jim Shooter and Sheldon Moldoff, with a cover by Curt Swan and George Klein, the Legion welcomed four new members to their ranks...Karate Kid (Val Armorr) from Earth, Princess Projectra from Orando, Ferro Lad (Andrew Nolan) from Earth and Nemesis Kid (Hart Druiter) from Myar.  These four had to prove themselves to the other Legion members, and did.  

They joined right in time, as Earth and the United Planets were menaced by a new warlike race called the Khunds...and it seems Earth's defenses were being destroyed by a member of the Legion...Karate Kid.

That was not true, and the real traitor was reveal, and the other three remaining on the team...with Val and Jeckie falling in love.  Val had to endure many trials to eventually wed his Princess...but was only finally able to after the death of her father, when she became Queen of Orando.


Legion of Super-Heroes Annual #2 (September, 1983)

Under a cover by Keith Giffen and Larry Mahlstedt, with a story by Paul Levitz, Keith Giffen and Dave Gibbons, Val and Jeckie were finally married in "Whatever Gods There Be...". 

Legion wedding are usually big affairs, and this one was as well, with the full Legion membership gathering from their busy adventures...

...as the team had just fought off Darkseid, and was busy restoring Daxam from the damage he did to Mon-El's homeworld, and another group (including Supergirl) just fought the Emerald Empress of Fatal Five.

Strangely enough, the wedding was relatively uneventful on Jeckie's home planet of Orando, but a team of Legion members (including Dream Girl and Ultra Boy) were accidentally sent back in time to ancient Greece, where they encountered aliens who were pretending to be the Greek gods.

Still, the marriage happened, and the two could live on her planet in peace (well, for a too short time....).

Flash Facts: Barry And Iris' Wedding

The comic book wedding of Barry Allen and Iris West didn't quite go the same as the version seen on CW's Flash (during the Crisis On Earth-X event they had), but it was interesting nonetheless. 

In "One Bridegroom Too Many" from Flash #165 (November, 1966 by John Broome, Carmine Infantino and Joe Giella, under a Murphy Anderson cover), Barry did indeed get his wedding interrupted, but it was the Flash doing it!   This involved some trickery from the 25th Century villain, Reverse Flash (a.k.a. Eobard Thawne), and this time, Barry had to be careful not to reveal his identity to his guests (which included Wally West's parents, Professor Ira West who Iris' thought was her father, Al Desmond who was formerly Dr. Alchemy, and Barry's parents, Henry and Nora Allen).   



Barry's dilemma was that he had not yet told Iris (nor almost anyone at the wedding other than Wally), that he was the Flash.

This plot point continued for a year, with Barry finally deciding to tell Iris during the course of the "Stupendous Triumph Of The Six Super-Villains" in Flash #174 (November, 1967 by John Broome, Carmine Infantino and Sid Greene under a classic cover by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson featuring Flash's Rogue's Gallery).  This was complicated by facing a good Mirror Master and evil Flash from a parallel Earth (as well as Barry's Earth-1 Rogues including his Mirror Master), but Barry had been his own worst enemy (and the solution to his problems) as Iris already knew.  



Seems Barry talks in his sleep....so, believe it or not, Flash solved his own problem, not by being the Fastest Man Alive, but by simply slowing down and being with the woman he loved!
